Atari 2600
I purchased one a month ago. (Original Wood one too).
It sits pride of place between the Wii and the Xbox360.

It brought a tear to my eye when my kids requested to play the "Tank Game" (Combat) rather than Lego Batman on the Wii.

A nice break
It was a well received break from the normal stuff they play, get stuck and expect me to solve.

Right with you there! I have my original black one still in box (cained to death when we were kids so it's a bit temperamental now), a woodie we purchased 2nd hand as a replacement (in box), and one of those new 'modern' slim silver and black ones. Sadly all my games are in a lock up a couple of miles away :-(

I picked up a boxed Atari 7800 from the tip of all places a few years back ... and some games from a boot sale the same year! Result!

I sold mine
ebayed in 2004 for quite a nice sum (before everyone else went and rummaged in their parents lofts I think).
I do however keep an emulator on every pc/mac I use with a selection of my fav games and make a point of passing it on to anyone who enquires.

I feel a quick game of Adventure coming on (Space invaders and Asteroids are too noisy for work)
